Frequently Asked Questions

How reliable is the online alarm?

ALARM.NOW is designed to be highly reliable, but like any web-based service, it requires an active browser window and stable internet connection. For critical wake-up needs, we recommend using it alongside a backup alarm.

Will my alarms persist if I close the browser?

Yes! Your alarms are saved in your browser's local storage and will remain available when you return to the site, even after closing your browser.

Can I use multiple alarms?

Absolutely! You can set as many alarms as you need, each with its own time, sound, and repeat settings.

How does the snooze feature work?

When an alarm triggers, you can click the snooze button to delay the alarm by 5 minutes. The alarm will ring again after the snooze period.

What happens if my computer is muted?

The alarm requires your system volume to be on and unmuted to play sounds. Make sure to test your alarm sound and system volume before relying on it.

Can I customize the alarm sounds?

Yes, we offer several pre-selected alarm sounds including Classic Bell, Digital Beep, Gentle Chime, and Buzzer. You can test each sound before setting your alarm.

Is there a mobile app available?

Currently, ALARM.NOW is a web-based service optimized for both desktop and mobile browsers. You can add it to your home screen for quick access.

How do I share an alarm with someone?

Each alarm has a share button that generates a unique URL. When someone opens this URL, they can import the alarm settings to their own ALARM.NOW instance.
